What a great vid guys, I have a real soft spot for the old Aussie designed and built engines, and as I’ve heard once or twice before, ‘there nothin’ like the sound of a v8’

A great example of a well built Holden V8 street engine. We catch up with Angelo Molinari of Molinari Race Engines for a lowdown on the setup while it was on the dyno at Adicted Performance. *Get your track gear! 👉 **shop.fullboost.com.au* If you’d like to be notified every time we upload a video, subscribe and then click the bell icon 🔔 next to the subscription button.

That looks like it could keep revving well past 8000rpm and making more power up there. 👍 Just awesome. 😎

Great build . A tough Holden V8 does sound bloody nice .

I can’t love this video enough! Bloody Aussie power 💪

can we all agree that the Holden v8 sounds better than any Ls? not a 308/304 with no muffler making a massive 250hp

Very nice !!! Danko from Addicted is top notch !!! 😜👍🇦🇺

It's always good to see people still playing with the old Holden engines👌

Incredible work guys. Beautiful engine!

Great job on the engine Angelo and great job by all of you building up your community.

Loving the content boys keep it up 👍

Keep up the great work 👍 👏

Beautiful craftsmanship gentlemen!

Nice build..those rocker covers 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

The biggest secret to engine builds is engine science and what is the best for reliability and also performance balanced, so the right products and the right tech in every aspect and bang for bucks you can get it right and when its right, wow 700HP at the crank all day long day in and day out. well done to all the team members and i hope more engines are shown on the channel, plus with out engine builders expert knowledge, as they say experience is the best teacher, not like some engine builders who will sell you the best parts but have no idea of how to put all the science together like LSA lobe angles based on air flow rates etc? Keep up the great work guys cant ait till more uploads are on.👍👍😎😎✔✔

That thing sounds great!!

Next bench talks going to be gold about this engine it's good to seen some different engine builders t o

Beautiful old skool sound

Sounds nuts! Can’t wait to hear this thing hit Lygon on a Saturday night! I’ll keep an ear out for it whilst i smash my souva from Lambs :) Nice feature boys!

I love seeing workshop tours and was expecting one t the end but nonetheless another good video on someones work and good blokes too

Fully sick! R.I.P Holden. 😕 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️

No where close to this budget, but I helped a mate with the cam, heads and intake for his 308 project. I fitted LS6 springs, small retainers and +0.050 locks with no machining to 5.0i VN ported heads with standard valves. It flowed 230cfm@0.5in lift, and with the ported Edelbrock AirGap manifold flowed between 200-210cfm per port. Rest was standard fair, only 0.060in over Mace flat tops and a 290 advertised duration cam, 232@0.050 with 110LSA and 0.49in lift. While in the running in and basic tuneup, the thing pulls clean in 4th (of a 5 speed Supra box), 1500rpm at 50km/h. Climbs hills no trouble at that speed either. Performance is linear, no fall off in push. I was brave enough to take it to 7500 and it did it effortlessly. Admittedly, it's in a light VC Commodore. No benchmark performance numbers as of yet. All said and done, it only cost me $1100nz for the springs, retainers, locks and manifold. If you want to copy, watch your cam lift to prevent coil bind. The sub 0.5in lift helped me in this area. Sounds great too, doesn't go into higher pitch 308 "clap" above 4000. Just a nice, polished bellow.

Two carb set up with a natural type. rules !

7:00 ...awe ..lol True though, great guys great commentary where the builder is happy to give credit where its due.

NEATO HOLDEN power. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

Aha this is so cool

That thing will sound mint getting down the road! 👍 Nice street motor, it'll be enough for pretty much anything that pulls up at the traffic light drags... 😂

I can't believe that you were able to get any parts out of torque power 😳🤣. That truly is a miracle. 👍

" listen to the motor.. " How true !

Nice Tri-Y Style Headers

my dads famous

This is fckin awesome 🤩

I'm amazed the block can cope.

Needs 700hp to lygon street on a Saturday night 🤣🤣🤣😁

That's impressive, N/A & not far of 700hp on '98, great stuff. Just a shame it won't fit under many bonnets.

Would rather this in my HQ over an ls ANY DAY

🏎🤘

Where does the effective power band start with a tunnel ram like that? The 350 - 383 stroker engines are so old school, I would have never thought I would see one on youtube.. Was the crankshaft ever lightened up to give better throttle response for the 383 build? Beautiful engine but would it all fit under the hood? (0_o)

What car is it going in

That's a decent amount of compression. Wonder what the cam specs are like?

Specs on camshaft

Brah why would ya want this when could get a 2k barra lol jokes boys jokes lol always great content keep it up

And a wash

It really depends on ones goals, 12.7 on pump fuel is right on the edge for most, to achive that the lsa and lift would of been very custom as a general rule 355 10 to 11 to 1 comp vn rubbed heads a can @050 of 230 by 233 ish at 575 lift at 110 or even 108 lsa whit a sigle planeshould net 400 easily every day very very easily to hit 700 well you can rev the piss out of a 355, but a 383 or larger is the way to go, and much credit to these guys for doing it that way. i wont give away too much info cos we get trashed hard if we give up the so called secrets but just aim fora good runner that will hit 30 degrees on cas and 34 on ally and your already half way there

Peter Michael's made more than that 20 years ago with a 355 flat tappet with -3 yt heads ran 8,89

Tuff

The first

So when Pete's not playing with his guitar he's playing with a die grinder.

Mate...if it can rev and not blow up the first time.... that's good enough for me

Geez, my stock VS threw a rod at 6500 😆

Did I miss the part where they mentioned what is was going in?

Did anyone else notice the throttle cable coming loose at 1:00?!

What would a build like this cost?

2k holdon

Or the ultimate....as it rev's. It gets faster.... infinite

As a American........that looks like a Ford.

Crap I'm 305 to like

The old 308 was an invitation for Uncle Rodney to come out. The later one's were much better.

Everything sound good till you get the price

Torque peak at 6800rpm- that’s what you call a street motor ?

Not your average 308

great build but the headline is a bit of a fib. find me some parts on that motor that are actual Holden parts? same as a ford or chev, by the time you put aftermarket rotating assembly and heads and so on and so on there ain't much chev, holden or ford left.

If you want you could donate this to me 🙏

Ha it's still got nothing on a two grand Barra!

Meh 1.25 foot pounds per cube is not something to brag about.

Mate... taught to how to keep a woman happy...g spot needs a turbo

700hp from a 308? thats 140hp per litre. thats what the latest nascar engines put out per litre!! really? without injection and still 2 valve head and on 98 octane? i find that almost impossible to believe, but may be true..the latest Ferraris DO NOT put out 140 hp per litre, stock!!
